I had been Tarl Cabot, one of the few who knew the true nature of the Priest-Kings, who had ventured through the delta of the Vosk to make contact with Samos of Port Kar, agent of the Priest-Kings, to continue in their service.

But Tarl Cabot had betrayed his code, had chosen ignominious slavery to the freedom of honourable death. He had sullied the sword which he had pledged to Ko-ro-ba's Home Stone. In that moment of surrender, Tarl Cabot had gone and in his place knelt a slave contemptuously called Bosk. Though Bosk had earned riches and fame and saved others from the degradation of slavery, he could not recover the honour which he had lost in the delta of the Vosk.
